Twilight on the Sambirano River, Madagascar

Our last night in the jungle. After 400km trekking through jungle, crawling through swamps, climbing over mountains, wading through rivers and limping along forest paths it was all coming to an end. This was our last night in camp. We had spent 18 nights out under the stars. I had a feeling of both relief and profound sadness as I knew another epic adventure was coming to an end.

Adventures always seem so rosy in hindsight but I can assure you there was nothing rosy about foot rot and infected insect bites. The Madagascar Coast to Coast expedition was a fine adventure and I have many fond memories of it.
